On His Beatport Chart Success…

It’s an incredible experience/feeling being on the Beatport charts! Been working very hard to get my music to the next level and it’s great to start seeing the results. I don’t measure my success on those charts but it is a nice feeling to have so many people like my music and continue to support me.

On How He Finds Success In A Fast-Paced Industry…

It’s changed a lot and is very difficult. I didn’t understand the industry and all the in’s and out’s, but I’ve definitely learned something new with each release. It’s tough to be a new artist in an already saturated market; I continue to try and get my music out to as many channels and outlets as possible (like Life Backstage).

On What’s Next…

I have a lot of stuff coming up for the remaining part of 2016, including a release set for October!
